    I am earning credit doing data entry tasks online for Amazon, which can then be transferred and used as Amazon gift vouchers.

    I want to gift goods to a charity who have a wishlist on Amazon, but am wondering if anyone might know how the rev would treat this type of online credit?

    :confused::confused::confused::confused:

    I think this could be a bit of a grey area in truth. You're not really an employee of amazon, so they aren't providing you a benefit.

    You would be seen as a freelancer more than anything, and would likely be taxable on the cash equivalent of the vouchers given. Gifting the vouchers to a charity is your personal choice.

    There used to be tax relief for charitable donations, if you were self employed for tax purposes. I'm not sure if that has been done away with though
